This Is England '88

Same notes as ‘86 x 4 It may just be the length of time passing but I am slowly associating these films less and less with the actual film as time goes on.  In this one the focus really shifts from shaun to woody which I don’t mind at all.  I still feel like they completely changed combo as a character though because you absolutely feel sorry for him (or are meant to feel sorry for him) in this which sort of makes you forget the film’s graphic scenes of him hate-criming a man with a machete, threatening three young boys with a knife because they were muslim, beating a man to unconsciousness because he’s black, and other general racism. This is not a good or nice character.
